"Beautifully written, perfectly paced, plotted and structured. It never wavers from its narrative trajectory or its cast-iron plot ... A gripping, thoroughly satisfying novel, genre writing at its best."
- Dexter Petley, author of "White Lies"

"A real triumph from an author who is going from strength to strength."
- Gordon Doherty, bestselling author of Legionary and Legionary: Viper of the North (reviewing Galdir - Rebel of the North)


His life in tatters, the nation over which he once presided now annexed by Rome, Galdir returns to the city from which he once escaped as a slave. For in this den of thieves and scoundrels lies Galdir's only hope of persuading the Senate to rescind the Roman fetters that hold his people. When Emperor Commodus commands Galdir to be his bodyguard, he obeys - but at the cost of his Germanic nature and loyalty. Tolerating the madness that is Commodus and side-stepping the political maelstrom, he finds his divided loyalties tear at his very soul. When the Empire is threatened by a new Germanic alliance, he must protect a mad Emperor and fight his own people in a cataclysmic battle to end all opposition to Rome.

'Protector of Rome' continues the thrilling saga of Galdir - slave, warlord and rebel.
